What is hound coursing?
Coursing is an ancient and noble sport that allows one to witness the beauty of a sight hound doing what it was bred for.

In the Middle Ages, a rabbit was released in a field and the hounds were then released after it. Eventually rules were established, which in turn led to the modern day dog track. In the SCA we use an artificial lure (generally a plastic bag) attached to a string, run through a series of pulleys, and driven by a hand crank or electric motor.

Obviously the history of coursing is more complicated than this. We invite you to join us and learn more.
